Access QMS - ISO Standards

Synopsis of ISO 14001

ISO 14001 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system (EMS). The requirements of the ISO 14001 standard are found in clause 4, and are comprised of six sub-clauses.

While the ISO 14001 standard can be implemented as an independent Environmental Management System (EMS), many companies will incorporate these requirements into, and as a part of, their Quality Management System (QMS) under such standards as: ISO 9001-2000, ISO/TS 16949, AS 9100, or others.

Compatibility between the two standards is shown in Annex B of the ISO 14001 standard, and in the recent release of the combined ISO 19011 standard for auditing of Quality and/or Environmental Management Systems (this replaces the previous ISO 10011 for Quality and ISO 14011 for Environmental).

Combination of the two types of management systems is easily done based on the alignment of requirements in the ISO 9000 based QMS with the 14001 EMS. Incorporation of the 14001 requirements requires only slight modifications to the QMS. The QMS will require only a few additional requirements from ISO 14001 that are not covered by the ISO 9000 based systems. These additional requirements fall in the following areas:

1) Planning

a) Environmental Program(s)

2) Implementation and Operation

a) Communication

b) Emergency preparedness and response

AccessQMS Assigned Consultants develop only custom Quality/Environmental Management Systems for their clients. Each QMS/EMS is developed to reflect the specific processes of their client's organization. Since most of their clients choose to incorporate these requirements into their existing QMS, it is not possible to provide a stand-alone example of such an EMS system.

Additionally, each QMS/EMS is client specific, and is therefore proprietary to the client and their operations.We cannot, by contract with our Assigned Consultant's clients, and in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001-2000, clause 7 • Product Realization, sub-clause 7.5.4 • Customer Property, share any information relevant to a client's QMS/EMS.
